Forgetfulness increases with age. U.S. Baby Boomers -- 78 million
strong -- rate cognitive function decline as a top concern.(1) As the brain
ages, brain cells dry out and shrink, connections between nerve cells slow
and blood circulation and nutrient flow to the brain decrease -- all of
which can affect cognition. Recent research has also linked impaired
glucose metabolism or insulin resistance in the brain to dementia and
Alzheimer's disease (2, 3). Iceland Health Advanced Memory Formula contains
the nutrients phosphatidylserine and omega-3 to help lubricate and increase
communication between brain cells, and chromium picolinate to increase
glucose metabolism, which allows glucose -- the brain's main "fuel" -- to
be processed more efficiently.

"With a rapidly expanding 'Baby Boomer' population, products that
address memory, mind and brain function have been determined to be among
the most desired in consumer studies conducted in this burgeoning
demographic group," said Gerard Butler, co-CEO of Nutrition 21. "As with
all of our products, we have taken a scientific approach to the development
of Advanced Memory Formula by combining nutrients that are essential to
improving and maintaining brain health."

Mr. Butler concluded, "We are excited about introducing Iceland Health
Advanced Memory Formula this summer via direct response channels, which
will include television infomercials, call center and internet e-commerce.
We believe this enhances our ability to address a broader segment of our
market in a very cost-efficient manner and sets the stage for introducing
the product into retail distribution, at a later date, with a loyal
customer base."

The Company continues to expect that EBITDA in the fourth quarter
ending June 30, 2008 will approach breakeven and that total revenues for
the quarter will be in the range of the $10.8 million reported for the
third quarter ended March 30, 2008. For the 2009 fiscal year ending June
30, 2009, the Company expects to deliver consistently positive EBITDA on a
quarterly basis, with revenues for the year generally in the range of total
revenues that will be reported for fiscal year 2008. EBITDA is a non-GAAP
measure that is defined as net earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization.
